For Custom Helper Libraries in my Laravel project, I have created a folder with name Libraries in my Laravel/App Directory and within Libraries directory, I have created various files for different helper libraries.

After creating my helper files I simply include all those files in my composer.json file like this

...
"autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database"
        ],
        "files": [
            "app/Libraries/commonFunctions.php"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/"
        }
    },
...

and execute

composer dump-autoload
